[Rich B]

It worked well for Jaguar…

TL;DW? Longer than an Audi Q8 and wider than UK width restrictors; which they’ll see lots of in London! Sensible city car really!

I wonder if there are ever gasps of horror or laughter at these unveilings. I expect everyone is on absolute best most polite behaviour so they’re allowed to go to future events and scared to show what they actually think.

Not after being offloaded by VAG they ain’t.

They don’t care what people who can’t afford them think and people who can afford them love that kind of tacky shite

I’m just wondering if there’s ever been a real life “the Homer” style reveal at a new car launch. The excited applause quickly turning to and awkward silence.

Cannot unsee those stupid wipers now that it was pointed out to me.

What on earth were they thinking/smoking?

I’ve seen comments on this but no pics/vids. Any links?

[Beany]

I assume it's referencing the wipers that park at the side of the screen and wipe 'inwards'.

[IanF]

Sounds very French/Italian! It’s more aero (probably) - A350 does it too

[Beany]

I think the problem is that they don't always do a good job of sweeping the whole screen, and they also look like they belong on a commercial vehicle.

Clearly, we need to send Hubnut over to do a wiper test. Triangle of Doom? Dribble of Disappointment? We must know!

Edit - apparently there's a CGI animation, they're just normal wipers, no fancy pantograph or 'bumpy' travel etc. So probably a nice big dirty patch at the top of the screen if the car ever gets driven (ha) in the rain (hahaha) making it look like it has a monobrow.
